===Ligaments===

Membranes and elastic ligaments attach the laryngeal cartilages, allowing attachment of the [[Epiglottis|epiglottis]] to the '''thyroid''' and '''cricoid cartilage'''. The first tracheal ring has attachment with the '''cricoid cartilage''' by the '''cricotracheal ligament'''.

===Cuneiform Process===

The cuneiform process is formed by [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Elastic Cartilage|elastic cartilage]]. It supports '''mucosal folds''' from the [[Epiglottis|epiglottis]] to the '''arytenoid cartilages'''. It is not present in all species and can be free or fused with the '''epiglottic cartilages'''.

==Laryngeal Pharynx==

The laryngeal pharynx is the largest part of the [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]]. It is wide rostrally and narrows caudally. The laryngeal pharynx joins the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] at the mucosal folds (clearest in the canine, in other species it is harder to see the demarcation). The lumen is closed at rest by the roof and walls falling towards the floor. The floor of the laryngeal pharynx contains the opening into the larynx - [[Epiglottis|epiglottis]], arytenoid cartilages and the aryepiglottic folds.
